Teaching Strategies Employed By Special Education Teachers of Kaligayahan, Quezon City

Abstract

The researchers observed the strategies of special education teachers at the Kaligayahan Elementary School. They are fully motivated, encouraging their special education pupils and catching their interest even if they have different behaviors. As a student, it is very difficult for us to do their job because it is not easy to handle special children with different behaviors with care. The different behaviors and personalities of the students are one of the biggest challenges of special education teachers. By being patient inside the classroom, their special students learn how to be independent or sociable. Also, they teach them how to collaborate with other people and to communicate fluently. In the research conducted, we used the Descriptive Method which attempted to know the status of teaching strategies employed by special education teachers at Kaligayahan Elementary School. The data gathered through the interview. Descriptive studies are closely associated with the observation. Based on the gathered data, most of the respondents are in the 31-40 years old range. The majority of the respondents are female. The best teaching strategies being used in teaching special education children are concrete materials, multimedia, and other technologies that help special students easily understand the lessons, making them actively listen and participate in class. The results demonstrated that a lot of students are emotional, some of them become wild if you do not give their wants. But if the teachers do some strategies, they can control the atmosphere and behavior of the students inside the classroom. The best teaching strategies in teaching special education children are by providing them a concrete object. Most the special education student can easily understand the lesson and they are actively participating. Also, most of the special education students are more comfortable interacting with their teachers instead of their classmates.
